Nut & Seed Granola

Nut & Seed Granola

I really like Amanda Soule’s website, soulemama dot
com. Her way of doing things reminds me
of how I did (or dreamed of doing) things when my children were little. This granola is a favorite of theirs for
eating or gifting.

In a
separate bowl, combine oil, syrup, juice and extracts. Slowly pour wet
ingredients over dry ingredients, using a spatula to fold and evenly coat
the dry mixture with the wet. Spread on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan
and bake. Turn granola every 15 or 20 minutes so that it toasts evenly.
Bake until granola is dry and golden (45-60 minutes). Store in an airtight
jar.

I
always double the recipe (I have four children. I double everything),
which fills a one gallon jar and lasts us almost one week. For
making and sharing as a gift, a double batch fits nicely inside two
half-gallon mason jars.
